I suspect the O/U might have been a Marlin Model 90

David: Agreed. Also looks like a soft top. Hot-rod guys said same thing. Too blurry to hope to i.d. at least for my old eyes. The boys did have a pretty new car to transport them to the shoot.

I just watched the video and the O/U I saw I don't think was a Marlin as I never knew one to have ejectors. You can see a puff of smoke from the breech but the shooter didn't pull the shell first. In 1926 it had to be European or and English gun. BTW has anybody heard of an Ire, or Ira Eyler who was shooting trap in the Baltimore area along about the same time. Lee.

Lee, did you ask me about Eyler before? Eyler, father and son, lived at 5313 Reisterstown Road, Baltimore. Reisterstown Road is Route 140 I think. In 1926, Sr. had a .9207 average on 1400 birds. Jr. had an .8886 average on 1150 birds.

'25 Franklin sedan had the rounded hood and suicide doors front and back. By '26, the rounded hood was gone. They were air cooled.

Bill, Thanks! Yes I did ask about Eyler on the Ithaca forum as Walt gave me info that he was the consignee on my Ithaca Victory Grade Knick on 9/14/25. It must have been a backup for something else as it is virtally unfired. I was able to find reference to him and his son in a 1930 Baltimore city directory but nothing else. It came to me from North Carolina supposedly from a grandson of the original owner, who told the dealer I got it from that it had been under a bed or something for years. I don't have, and can't seem to get his name from the dealer, but then we all know how these storys go. Thanks again, Lee!!!

Re: The car: There isn't any chance it may have been a Fox Automobile is there? The pix of same in Mac's book look kind of like it, but then all the old sedans seem to look alike to me. After all I didn't come along till '38. Lee.

Tom Kidd's Fox car is pictured, I believe, in the DGJ index in the article on Tom. I don't know if the article is in Volume 1 or Volume 2. I believe the over under in the video is a Merkel or Simpson. I got one kind of a look at the reflection of the extension ribs at about 5:59 or 6:00. However, the reflection could have been the brass of his shell.

Bill : Agreed on the Merkel/Simpson. I have had in years past, had examples of both of that vintage by dates and proof marks and I think VL&D and Antoine and Detmold were importers for both in that era as perhaps The Shoverling and Daly group. Ineteresting!!!! Lee
